A quick and easy homemade Breakfast Danish made with Pillsbury crescent roll dough. The perfect sweet eat when you need breakfast on the go.
When it comes to weekday breakfast, it has to be grab-and-go. Because my crew values sleep more than food, and I’m trying to not let them slip out with something to eat.
Some days are better than others.
Which means some days, it’s a granola bar.
And other days, it’s a homemade Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin. Nick’s favorite.
But last week?
It was these light and flaky Breakfast Danish.
Simple and sweet, they’re the perfect thing to cut into small squares and shove into their little hands as they dash out the door for their buses. Or to serve to guests who drop over for tea or coffee. If you do that sort of thing. Because they’re a little sweet, it’s not a make-all-the-time thing, of course, but it’s a nice, occasional balance for granola bars and muffins.
And my five year old who has a sweet tooth like no other wholeheartedly agrees.
And because they’re super easy to make, you can keep the crescent roll dough on hand and quickly whip up a batch after dinner without missing a beat.
When the kids first saw these on the counter, they asked what they were. And when I said they were Breakfast Danish, that was immediately followed by asking what Breakfast Danish was.
Clearly my children have been very deprived.
